Fallen Angel Contest

A blood, red rose pressed against her pale skin A work of art, with a shattered heart She reeked of sweet sin Merely a sheep With eyes, a royal gold Though the risk was steep She was his to hold A mortal lover, by night A metal hook held her wings Before dawn she took flight By noon, she sings She always knew her fate But, wouldn't change a thing Except the morning she was late With a punctured left wing There would be no goodbye She was banished right away Expelled from the sky In debt, with Hell to pay So she stands alone and weeps With a rose from his grave Dreaming of her sheep Atop the bed she made

Lovely imagery and a clever turn of phrase conveys such emotion in this sad write. She knew the consequences, but her love was worth the risk. Best of luck in the contest, Anna. Regards, John.

A sadness comes through here. It seems to have life parallels.
